The task of gently transporting a microscopic particle from one point to another along a winding path, and then bringing it back using nothing more than a single, compact chip is a challenge we set ...
Bright idea: this vacuum chamber is home to an optical conveyor belt. (Courtesy: P Windpassinger/Experimental Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Research Group) A ...
Neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers are promising for quantum technologies such as quantum computing, simulations and metrology. However, atom loss due to the finite trap lifetimes and ...
